So what’s the term for what they’re doing? Chauvinist-in-denial campism?
It seems they’re also bad at making infographics.
CIA just can’t attract talent like they used to.
Yogthos please look up the origin of the word “glowie” and then please stop using it
It’s sad how Terry lived, he was probably actually seeing stuff like that as hallucinations
Haymarket books just openly celebrating the US kidnapping leaders they don’t like.
Truly a “neither washington nor moscow, but actually washington” publisher.
“Amazing visual recap”
I’m having a fucking hard time following that shit
Most of what can even be considered as digestible in this comes off as the same type of vague speak you’d use in a job interview or see on linkedin
Anti-campism but they just haven’t found the perfect state to support yet (they never will, they’re just white supremacists)
Listen, kiddo, I get it. I don’t like the Gašt-e Eršâd. I think Iran is corrupt and, quite frankly, I don’t wanna vote for Pezashkian; it feels like voting for a Democrat, but I’m gonna do it. You wanna know why? Because the alternative is a fucking fascist! A fascist! It’s a fascist! Maybe we can have the conversation about dismantling the Islamic Republic when a fascist isn’t at war with them. Maybe we can do that later, kiddo. Champ. Chief. Maybe we can talk about it later!
The screenshot showing FBI infiltration concerns from decades ago feels relevant to how leftist organizations get targeted, but calling Haymarket Books government agents without actual evidence is the kind of purity testing that weakens movements. They publish way too many anti-system authors for the glowie narrative to hold up. What specific evidence makes you think they’re compromised?
Purity testing
Yes. It is a test of the veracity of their positions, and they have been found severely lacking in a way that compromises their ability to accomplish or support anything meaningful. If I’m trying to formulate a chemical, you can be certain I’m going to test the purity of my ingredients.
that weakens movements
No. These disagreements must be hammered out, a proper line must be taken, these questions of differing opinion must be definitively answered. This is the resolution of contradictions: something that strengthens movements. If the vague, amorphous “left” took power in America tomorrow, it would be paralyzed by indecision about it’s basic goals because these disagreements weren’t worked out beforehand. If we’re gonna have an effective movement, these disputes need to be settled. Someone is gonna have to be right, and someone is gonna have to be wrong.
Anyone stupid enough to celebrate the kidnapping of any anti imperialist leader or ignore that people are being carpet bombed and focusing on the propaganda narrative is at least a disgusting fool, and if they’re supposedly leftists who are exposed to our arguments and analysis and they still double down on US propaganda why wouldn’t we be distrustful of them?
the one I highlighted in the body of the post 🤦
